And, finally, (and I admit, I'm a bit hazy on the details here) for a while, everyone thought Christopher was J.R.'s son by Kristin, which is why Bobby was willing to "buy" Christopher from Jeff Faraday to begin with - so as not to have the Ewing name tarnished by a baby born out of an affair. It wasn't till later that they determined that Christopher was actually Faraday's and Kristin's.

I ran to Wikipedia the other night, and apparently she claimed he was J. R.'s son from the affair, but tests later showed that he was Kristin and her husband's son. So he's Sue Ellen's biological nephew.

Or the nephew of the Next Governor of Texas (I'd vote for her).

Meh to me it just doesn't feel like DALLAS even with Hagman--it just feels more like the "jump the shark" years on Dallas when Duffy and Hagman were the only ones left on the show after all the other characters left and they kept bringing in new characters to try to spark some life into the show.

But then no degree of illness of infirmity could compete with the four bottle champaign a day he would imbibe while filming Dallas in the 80s, which is him cutting down considerably from his days in the bottle during I Dream of Jeannie.

I have a practical question. Is this season 15 (ala Doctor Who), since it's a continuation? 15 assuming the ignoring of the TV movies.

Maybe the TV movies were J.R.'s dream "season". Both movies ended with him seemingly getting exactly what he wanted.

As far as J.R. goes, well you can call him J.R., or you can call him John Ross Junior, or you can call him junior, or you can call him J.R. junior, but ya can't him Mister Johnson.
